New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to officially announce this morning a new NYC congestion pricing plan. Here's how much the updated program could now cost drivers.
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to officially announce this morning a new NYC congestion pricing plan.The program, which would charge drivers a fee for entering Manhattan south of 60th St., aims to ease traffic in central Manhattan, reduce pollution and raise funds for public transit improvements. According to multiple published reports, Hochul will propose a $9 base toll instead of the original $15 for cars to enter the congestion zone during peak hours.
The governor has faced mounting pressure from transit advocates to secure funding for the transit system. Congestion pricing tolls were expected to generate around $15 billion in revenue for the MTA's capital program.But the late pause created a major budget deficit, forcing the MTA to shelve accessibility improvements, hundreds of new electric buses and more.
